Marival, it's such a wonderful tanka poem. Your words are magic and the pivot line is so well executed that's it's hardly noticeable. I loved the imagery. So many could learn from this, me included. Un abrazo, Ulla:)))

These first two lines are perfect for imagery:
Dusk slips through the window
dressed in silver dust and dreams
The writing doesn't get any better than that. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. I really enjoyed the complete package.

I read the author notes and it helps tremendously. You are some posting machine!

My two cents worth...nice alliteration trio in the first stanza. I don't use alliteration writing prose. The fundamental rules say no alliterations writing prose.

A pretty presentation. You are good at blending word colors. You a word weaver. Create a bouquet of words. Wish I knew more about a Tanka. I haven't written poems in years. But I do recall some types of poetry. I'm no master any longer. No sense in posting poems now when the year is almost up! Boy, I can see it's a competition to get trophies. Everyone wants to be #1 and get that trophy. Good luck!

BOOTASTIC!

    Well, tomorrow is the last day for my murder contest entry. I will have to go to the library. I am limited on my android and can't add cool pictures or add a video link. Looks generic right now. I am earning member cent pumps. I been gone too many years. A heap of my loyal fans left or died. It seems. So, I'm not expecting to win. I'm posting out of self satisfaction. You enjoy your weekend, gypsy Queen 👑

As always you invoke all the senses from vision of dusk "dressed in silver dust" and the sound of "woken by pebbles on glass" as the lover gets the attention of the beloved throwing pebbles on the glass windows to commence their "clandestine love."

    Thank you very much, big sister. I'm glad you got the meaning of the pebbles on the glass, I don't think everybody gets it.

    Love,

    Marival ❤️

    I had to think about it, and then it hit me - Oh! That's right! The window!

I like your exceptional Tanka poem- good picture presentation- intelligent poem - ties itself to the picture- excellent metaphors- dust -dressed in silver dust- like last rays of sunlight shinning through- clandestine- nice - describing secret - defined in notes-and my favorite- love woken by pebbles hitting the glass- very nice work!! Good job

Very well done!!
The poem takes us out of the ordinary life and clearly describes the feeling and expectation of ( clandestine) love coming with dusk.
I liked it.
Mario

This is a gentle, delicate poem. You succeeded in capturing the lovely, short scene of a day tranforming into a night, like a meeting of two lovers. Your tankas have a great quality to them.
